← One Pipeline Down. A Million More to Go
Our Voice Counts – Pipeline Opposed by Governor →
Climate Emergency Declaration of NYS
Posted on September 20, 2019 by joan koster
Dear Governor Cuomo:
We write to you in solidarity with the international Youth Climate Strike on September 20, urging you to declare a climate emergency in New York State.
The call for the Youth Climate Strike states that "Faced with climate catastrophe, armed with the sound of our voices and the weight of our bodies, we, as youth, must strike to make our presence known. We strike to protect a livable future, one that is no longer guaranteed. Global South, indigenous, and frontline communities are already experiencing the devastating impacts of the climate crisis. We must enact swift change, to salvage not only their lands, but our land, and the lands of all life on earth. We strike against the notion that the wealth of select corporations and people should undermine the welfare of the many."
The demands of the international Youth Climate Strike include:
A Green New Deal that immediately halts all new fossil fuel projects and transitions our economy to 100% renewable energy by 2030;
Respect of Indigenous lands and sovereignty;
Environmental justice for communities on the frontlines of poverty and pollution, and sanctuary for all migrants;
Protect and restore 50% of the world's lands and oceans; stop all deforestation by 2030;
Our rally and march in Albany have the following specific demands for steps to take in relation to declaring a climate emergency (see for example S5518 / A5399) in New York:
1) Immediate ban on all new fossil fuel projects.
We need to halt the use of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible. A critical first step is to stop the expansion of the use of fossil fuels, including natural gas. This starts with rejecting permits for projects such as the Williams Pipeline, Danskammer, Cricket Valley and CPV.
2) Immediate halt to all subsidies for fossil fuels from NYS
NYS provides an estimated $1.5 billion in various tax subsidies to fossil fuels (see A257/S2649). The International Monetary Fund estimates that governments provide more than $5 trillion dollars in subsidies annually for fossil fuel companies, mainly by not making them pay for the damages caused by their products. We need to enact polluter penalties (fee on greenhouse gas emissions; see A39 / S3608 or S3616). We must also stop utility companies from subsidizing the expansion of natural gas, including in heating and cooling homes, and instead increase subsidies for renewable heat such as air heat pumps and geothermal.
3) Immediately invest $10 billion in the 2020-21 state budget in a climate transition with funding for renewable energy, efficiency and a Green New Deal. 40% of such funding must target disadvantaged communities.
Among the most critical goals established in the recently enacted state climate legislation (CLCPA) sets a goal of increasing the percentage of the state's electricity coming from renewables to 70% by 2030. The state unfortunately has a long history of failing to meeting its climate goals. Since Gov. Pataki first set goals to increase renewable energy in 2002, the state has added less than 5% of its electricity from wind and solar. We must now match that increase on an annual basis. We must dramatically increase state funding to expand renewable energy, including investing in community energy and energy retrofit projects that directly assist environmental justice and low and moderate income communities. We must also create (guarantee) living wage jobs for these communities and existing workers in the fossil fuel industry.
4) Convert all public buildings and vehicles to zero GHG emissions by 2023
The state must be a model for our energy future by immediately moving to eliminate its own greenhouse gas emissions. We need to install solar, geothermal and energy efficiency measures in all public buildings. This includes converting the Sheridan Avenue power facilities for the Empire State complex to use 100% renewables. We need to convert government owned vehicles to zero emissions.
5) Amend building codes to require all new buildings be carbon emission free by 2023.
While the state has made progress in reducing emissions from electricity, this accounts for less than a fifth of the state's carbon footprint; buildings and transportation each account for more than a third. California requires new residential buildings to be carbon free by 2020 (and buildings under 3 stories must incorporate solar); all new buildings must be carbon free by 2030. New York State must adopt similar building codes.

Q: Dependent radio buttons or checkbox or other methods via PHP and Jquery I have the following mySQL database:
options_id, options_name, options_child, quantity
1, Small, White, 10
2, Small, Pink, 10
3, Medium, White, 2
4, Medium, Pink, 0
5, Large, White, 0
6, Large, Pink, 5

Basically I have to output this in radio buttons or 2 dropdowns or maybe some other method and pass the data back to php.
The challenge is that the output has to be dependant on the quantity. So there will be 2 drop downs for example.
One for Sizes and one for Colors. If someone selects Medium Size, based on the above quantity mentioned, there are 0 for Pink. So basically that will be out of stock.
Someone recommended that output the data as an array and then use javascript for that.
I will be using jQuery for output something like this: Amazon-like interface for selecting product size and color (i.e., click a little red box to select a red product, etc)
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

A: Your project can be done like in an hour, but you need to follow some steps.

*

*in MySQL (i guess you are using phpmyadmin) type:
SELECT * FROM tblName;

*Search php examples for connecting to MySQL database:
You'll need to put your username/pwd and the server IP:PORT in a configuration file

*Use the query of step 1, and use the print() to output in the browser.

*Until this point you'll have the ugliest page, but you have completed the basis for connecting to database within a browser.

*Then, use a program like dreamweaver to draw the layouts, and search for php snippets (dreamweaver has built in examples) for propagating the radio buttons and checkboxes.

*Now you are almost finished and you can use javascript to manipulate the data.

*Download jQuery and use the built in animations, so your site doesn't look bad.

*Come back to stackoverflow.com and you'll be able to ask a specific question about the logic for handling the sizes and colors.

Ada County 16-year-old volunteers as a poll worker on Election Day
"Since I'm not able to vote, I just really wanted to get involved someway with the election," she explained while just outside of the polling location she was at.
Published: 6:28 PM MST November 4, 2020
Updated: 6:28 PM MST November 4, 2020
BOISE, Idaho — On Election Day, there was no shortage of voters but there was worry leading up to the election that there may not be enough poll workers.
Usually, polling locations are manned by older people, retired residents with the time available to spend 10, 12, 14 hours volunteering. But with the threat of COVID-19, those who usually handed you your ballot and announced you have voted thought it would be best to stay home.
County clerks across the Gem State were in search of volunteers to operate polling locations. In Ada County, officials reached out to area high schools to ask if any students would like to help with the democratic process. Many did, including 16-year-old Kayleigh Philippi.
While she couldn't vote in this presidential cycle, she still wanted to do her part. So the teenager signed up to be a poll worker at Prospect Elementary School in Meridian.
Editor's Note: Watch the video above to see Kayleigh's story of being part of our democracy as a 16-year-old.

Sarkodie Thrills Patrons At The MMC Live 2019
By OdarteyGH
JUL 1, 2019 EXCLUSIVE NEWS
The Music, Magic and Comedy Live (MMC Live) organized by Global Media Alliance came off on Saturday, June 29 at the Accra International Conference center (AICC).
Sarkodie who was the headline act delivered a good performance which was an upgrade of his slow performance at the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards.
Patrons grooved with him as he delivered back-to back hit songs from his rich collections and it was really memorable.
MMC LIVE is an entertainment show organised by Global Media Alliance that features renowned performers in music, magic and comedy on one stage. The show which is in its fourth edition is slated for Saturday 29th of June, 2019 at Accra International Conference Center (AICC).
Watch Sarkodie full performance below;


: Szyszka, B.; Löbmann, P.; Georg, A.; May, C.; Elsässer, C.
Transparent and conductive films are key components for optoelectronic devices. They are applied as n-type transparent electrical contacts for inorganic and organic light emitting diodes, solar cells and flat panel displays as well as p- and n-type active semiconductive oxides to setup wide band gap-p-n junctions and devices for the emerging field of transparent and radiation hard electronics.
The demand for these films is strongly increasing due to the extensive market growth in these areas but the solutions available today only partially fulfill the requirements on low resistivity, high transmittance, large area deposition, low cost manufacturing, and ability for fine patterning, light scattering and precise alignment of the electronic structure to surrounding semiconductors.
The cooperation of five Fraunhofer Institutes within the "Fraunhofer Project MAVO METCO" aims towards establishing fundamental knowledge and control about the defect chemistry, structure and morphology of the transparent semiconductive oxides. The goal is to achieve materials with outstanding properties such as n-type transparent conductive oxides with tailored work function and excellent durability, novel delafossite based p-type materials allowing cost effective large area deposition, oxide based p-n heterojunctions and Ag based electrodes to be used for thin film photovoltaics and organic light emitting diodes.
Starting from first-principle modelling of the electronic structure, we address the development of new transparent conductive layers by PVD and Sol-Gel ending up with device implementation for OLEDs and organic as well as Si based a-Si:H/µc-Si:H and HIT solar cells.

The Oxford Handbook of Evolutionary Medicine
Eds. Martin Brüne and Wulf Schiefenhövel
Medicine is grounded in the natural sciences, among which biology stands out with regard to the understanding of human physiology and conditions that cause dysfunction. Ironically though, evolutionary biology is a relatively disregarded field. One reason for this omission is that evolution is deemed a slow process. Indeed, macroanatomical features of our species have changed very little in the last 300,000 years. A more detailed look, however, reveals that novel ecological contingencies, partly in relation to cultural evolution, have brought about subtle changes pertaining to metabolism and immunology, including adaptations to dietary innovations, as well as adaptations to the exposure to novel pathogens. Rapid pathogen evolution and evolution of cancer cells cause major problems for the immune system to find adequate responses.
In addition, many adaptations to past ecologies have turned into risk factors for somatic disease and psychological disorder in our modern worlds (i.e. mismatch), among which epidemics of autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and obesity, as well as several forms of cancer stand out. In addition, depression, anxiety and other psychiatric conditions add to the list.
The Oxford Handbook of Evolutionary Medicine is a compilation of cutting edge insights into the evolutionary history of ourselves as a species, and how and why our evolved design may convey vulnerability to disease. Written in a classic textbook style emphasising physiology and pathophysiology of all major organ systems, the Oxford Handbook of Evolutionary Medicine will be valuable for students as well as scholars in the fields of medicine, biology, anthropology and psychology.

14:23: Sitting beneath the oak tree in the little valley of birches.
Today there are a hundred people, perhaps two hundred, visible from this spot. If there are thirty such spots then there are several thousands on the heath today... Usually I see fewer than fifty people, sometimes fewer than ten, in one or two hours walking.
Someone is setting off fireworks in the bright sunlight - two rockets so far but I saw only smoke, not star bursts, in the cloudless sky.
Is our presence an improvement, I ask, remembering the last words I wrote in 2001: 'we are nature as we are its artists, its extensions'?
And when I look up from this little screen I see a designed landscape full of moving people - many more than it was intended for - and no Lord and Lady in command. Our task now is to make 'being numerous' an improvement! That's it, the next aim beyond 'sustainability' and 'protecting the environment' - two faulted and inadequate aims, to my mind (I feel that they both divide 'nature' or 'environment' from 'people'; impose dualism where unity and connectiveness are essential).
Cold hands. Time to put on my gloves and go for tea.
...but on the way there I paused to wipe mud from my shoes (I'd stepped in a little swamp that was still unfrozen though nearly all of the heath ground was frozen quite hard). While I wiped my right foot on a tuft of grass the doubled weight on my left foot caused it to sink suddenly into another bit of swampy ground... and when I lifted my left leg the shoe came off and filled with red muddy water... as I struggled to rescue the wet shoe and to empty it and put it back on while still standing on one leg in a semi-swamp, I found myself laughing out loud at this predicament.
And now, as I write of it in a warm room with dried shoes, I can't help wondering what sort of an omen this is for the new year? Do I see all my previous writings as steps in a partly frozen swamp - and my latest book as sinking if I put too much weight on it?... but this is nonsense, I hope.

The Yali was thought to be built in late 18th century by a pasha. Then, it passed in title and was used as house by Kececizade Fuat Pasha, II.Abdulaziz's grand vizier, for a long time. After Kececizade Fuat Pasha, yali was continued to be used as house for some more time. It was restored in republican era and started to be used as hotel and guesthouse in 1930s.Kececizade Fuat Pasha Yali, one of the most beautiful waterfront houses in Bosphorus, has been serving since 1991 with the name of Fuat Pasha Hotel.After having been a quiet witness of Istanbul 's history for two centuries, Kececizade Fuat Pasha Yali is now combining Ottoman architecture and modern hotel management, to put this combination into service of tourism.

Subaru Outback Touring and Legacy Sport Trims Launched
Posted By: Aliana Williams
Subaru has expanded their lineup by adding new trimline variants to their crossover and sedan models.
The 2017 version of these cars will be upgraded with brand new features to make it worthwhile for the buyers.
The update is being rolled out to the 2017 Subaru Outback and the 2017 Subaru Legacy Sport models. The car now uses a dark grey grille with accents of the same color and has 18-inch alloy wheels. Exterior changes found in the vehicle include outback badges made of chrome material, new lower body cladding, and silver finish on the rails. The auto manufacturer offers a brand new color variant for the car named the Brilliant Brown.
Changes made in the interiors comprise of leather trimmed seats. The Java brown leather adds a touch of exquisiteness to the car and it is duly contrasted with ivory stitching on all the required sports including the arm rests, the door panel and seats. The trim panels use woodgrain material while the switch panel features a piano black finish. On a comprehensive look, Subaru has opted for a luxurious finish to the car to make it appealing to the elite crowd.
Buyers can choose to upgrade the steering wheel with heated functionality if they like to. The car is equipped with a 7.0-inch touchscreen display powered by the StarLink 7.0 Multimedia navigation system. These features are available in the base model of the Outback touring. Powertrain options available in the car includes a 2.5-liter Boxer four-cylinder engine and a more powerful 3.6-liter Box six-cylinder engine. The former delivers a total output of 175 horsepower while the latter offers a total of 256 horsepower.

Leipzig, Leicester, and More || Case of the Mondays
COPA90 US
By GabyKirschner
Monday morning is always hard — back to waking up early, back to work, back to not wearing pajamas all day. But if your team had a bad weekend, Monday morning can feel even worse.
Let's check out the four teams that have the worst #CaseOfTheMondays after the weekend, shall we?
After taking points from the first 13 games of the season, people had all but declared Leipzig Bundesliga victors by December — or, at least, Bayern's biggest (and most out-of-the-blue) challengers for it. Unfortunately, their recent slip-ups, including their second loss in a row last weekend, have given Bayern a seven-point lead at the top. And while the loss to Dortmund two weeks ago was maybe not so surprising, their most recent one — a shutout to 15th-place Hamburger SV, who have conceded the third-most goals in the Bundesliga and have a goal difference of -16 — certainly is. That one has to sting.But to give credit to HSV, their current position in the table belies their current form. After a poor fall that saw them going winless in 6 straight Bundesliga games from the end of August to the beginning of October — five of which were losses — their win against Leipzig was their third on the bounce in all competitions, and their sixth win out of nine games in all competitions since December. Yet you'd still expect a team 13 places higher in the table to beat them. However, let's put sitting in second (and seven points ahead of third) into perspective. Although it might seem like a disappointment relative to the start of the season, it still has them very on track for a Champions League spot, and the fact that they were contenders at all, at any point, is incredibly impressive for a newly promoted side. And it was nice to have a Bundesliga title race for a little longer than usual this year.
Tottenham's 2-0 loss to Liverpool on Saturday was simultaneously the most surprising yet most predictable result on the weekend. Sure, Tottenham hadn't lost in 11, including a 2-0 dismantling of league-leading Chelsea; sure, Liverpool had only squeezed out one win yet in 2017, and that was against Plymouth Argyle; and sure, it would be Mignolet versus Harry Kane and Dele Ali for 90 minutes. But three other records came into play: that of Liverpool against the Top 6 (they're currently on top of a top six "mini league"), that of Liverpool vs. Tottenham in general (Spurs haven't won since 2012), and that of Tottenham at Anfield (recording only one win since 1993).However, this loss can't just be chalked up to lopsided history. Liverpool are still a good team, despite not showing it for a few weeks, and that is why they were still in Top 4 contention after a floundering start to the new year. In fact, they are good enough to be the first team to score more than once versus Tottenham while shutting them out, and good enough to keep Hurricane Harry Kane from even getting a shot off. The two other times that happened this season? Tottenham's victory over Chelsea in January...and Tottenham's game versus Liverpool in the fall. Overall, though, this loss shouldn't hurt Spurs fans for more than a few days. They've got some very winnable Europa and FA Cup games coming up to bounce back with, and after all, they're still in second. One loss to another Top 4 side won't change the direction of their entire season. And let's face it, they weren't going to win the league either way.
Tigres might be, uh, pulling a Leicester this half-season. After winning the 2016 Apertura, they've found themselves in 16th place after six weeks of Clausura play. They have a 1-1-4 record, and the weekend's loss to Pachuca was their third in a row. Of course, it's still early in the season, and there are eleven weeks left to turn things around. Plus, their last 3 losses have only been 1-0, which — although still losses — are not worrying, blowout losses. Maybe if they pretended that their opponent every week was Club America they'd start climbing up the table even faster. We'll have to wait and see how they address their poor form when they come up against 8th place Veracruz on Friday.
At this point, Leicester losing isn't a shock to anyone. The "fairytale" narrative of last year has long turned into "they'll be relegated and win the Champions League in the same season" — but, just like the fairytale narrative, that's slowly but surely turning into less of a joke and more of a very possible reality. The first half, anyway. Leicester currently sit one point above relegation, but recently they've been moving down faster than up. And getting beaten by a Swansea who, although they have been on a slow yet steady up-and-up for a little bit, had been almost certainly pegged to go down isn't going to instill much confidence in the side. Could they be in for a managerial change, like what seemed to buoy Swansea's season? Was N'golo Kante really the glue that held everything together last year? Whatever Leicester need to do to save their season, they need to figure it out fast.

By 2020 it's estimated that 1.7Mb of data will be created every second for every human on the planet. It's mind-blowing to realise that in the past two years alone, we've created more data than at any time in human civilisation.
And now think about the storage and ownership of all that data. The passwords, email accounts, online banking accounts, cryptocurrencies. The wealth of data each one of us creates and builds over our lifetimes.
These assets comprise a potentially highly valuable portion of our estates, making them integral to the estate planning process – call it digital estate planning, if you like.
Social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), personal email accounts (Gmail), messaging services (Snapchat) and photo-sharing sites (Instagram, Flickr). Most of these websites and apps have privacy clauses in their terms of service that may prevent your family from accessing them following your death.
Online bank accounts, eBay, PayPal, BPAY and AdSense accounts, all of which may be of monetary value.
Files stored on a personal computer, smartphone, tablet, hard drive or stored on an online server. Commonly, these files can include family photos, business documents and personal projects which you may want passed on to family and friends.
Who owns your digital footprint?
Many of us think that, just because we stop using an account or delete an app, the data they accumulate ceases to exist or that it's erased by the organisation with which we're dealing.
This is often not the case, although a number of companies such as Facebook do claim that when an account is deleted they retain no information other than what they're required to keep, such as purchase history.
The fact is that the ownership of much of our digital data is scattered among numerous organisations and businesses. Imagine the executors of an estate endeavouring to follow your trail of digital breadcrumbs.
How, for instance, do you know if a friend or relative has purchased Bitcoin or some other cryptocurrency? Almost 2,000 new Bitcoin are created every day in a marketplace that will top $1 trillion this year. These currencies are secured in crypto wallets by a private key, meaning that if the details of that key are not recorded, a potentially sizeable portion of an individual's wealth is lost on their death.
While the law is clear regarding the protection of our physical assets, it is still in many cases playing catch up in relation to our digital assets. In some cases, the default position is that the companies involved end up controlling what happens with those assets, regardless of our wishes.
Consider at-home DNA testing, a booming industry which has seen more than 12 million people submit samples to companies like Ancestry.com.au or 23andMe. Whilst it seems ridiculous to think that anyone other than you owns your DNA, the companies you are engaging with retain the rights to sell or utilise your data in any way they choose. This can include failing to destroy it at your request. Does that now mean our DNA is an asset we should seek to protect in our estate plans?
Take an inventory of your digital assets and accounts so that the executors of your estate know their location and potential value.
Create a list of the accounts in your name and determine which ones you want your executor to access – and which should be deleted. Include instructions regarding the location of passwords, which should be securely stored as a person's Will becomes a public document on their death.
Review and update your digital asset list and estate plan regularly. We recommend an annual digital audit.
Leave executors with instructions on how to access the value stored in transactional accounts, such as the App Store, Microsoft Store, PayPal and others. Save your media to an external hard drive for safe keeping.
Check with the companies you use, e.g. Google, to see if they have processes for transferring assets when their users die.
Playing a proactive role in the protection of your assets, be they files and photos or a crypto wallet, is integral. An estate plan that captures all the information relevant to your assets, and one that is regularly updated, will help ensure that little, if anything, is missed by the executors.
Start the conversation with the team at Redchip.

Paper Separation, Paper Sensing, & Paper Sorting | MSS Inc.
Paper separation from other recyclables most efficiently is accomplished by the user, before the paper enters the waste stream. Once paper is mixed with other recyclables, removing and sorting it becomes tricky. That said, consumers rarely do a careful job of sorting, and many facilities are now accepting completely mixed waste. This reduces collection costs and eliminates the frustration of unmet expectations concerning correctly pre-sorted materials.
At the simplest (other than human sorting), the mixed waste passes over a rolling drum with paddles or cams. Because the paper is lighter than other containers, and flat, it is propelled forward and the heavier, more dimensional materials fall out behind the drum.
Once past this point, the sorting of paper grades for recycling is a difficult problem. Recovered fiber can only be reprocessed into a product with shorter fiber length. Therefore, higher grade papers bring more financial return if they can be separated. Otherwise the entire batch is destined to become some low-grade product such as toilet paper.
The basic properties involved in paper sorting are lignin content, stiffness, gloss, color and adhesives content.
Lignin content can be determined by the amount of fluorescence. High lignin paper glows more brightly.
Determining stiffness, which seems simple to a human feeling a paper, is actually quite difficult for automated paper sensors. Ultrasound waves are confounded by vibration of the moving paper on a conveyor system. Piezoelectric and capacitive transducers also do not yield consistent results. A better technique has been proposed which moves single thicknesses of paper over a narrow gap in the conveyor. Air pressure is applied from above, deforming the paper downward in the gap. This curvature can be read from below, measuring the stiffness. Laser paper sensing for stiffness based on flutter as the paper is conveyed have also been tested.
Gloss is measured by means of reflectivity, and optical color paper sensing samples a sheet for an average color value. Since printed papers have varying amounts of ink coverage and background color, this allows separation of white and near-white papers (higher value) from lower value waste.
Adhesives, such as envelopes, glued boxes, and sticky notes remains a difficult problem for paper separation. A solution may be to develop adhesives that are not detrimental to the recycling process.
Paper sorting of corrugated cardboard from boxboard, such as cereal boxes, and from office paper is still best accomplished before the products enter the automated materials recovery stream.

John Grady: The Queen's faith
Queen Elizabeth ll was Head of the Church of England, and her scripture choices and funeral services at both Westminster Abbey and Windsor Castle were an acknowledgement of her faith
John Grady Sep 25, 2022 10:42 AM
There are no adequate words of compliment that have not already been spoken, written, or referred to about Queen Elizabeth ll that can be properly added.
You do not have to be a supporter of the Monarch, but it is impossible to deny this amazing lady's global leadership over the last 70 years. It is also impossible to deny the outpouring of admiration, affection and love the world gave back to this special woman who has re-defined the word "service."
It is an honour and remarkable for the Queen to have four horses of the RCMP musical ride leading the funeral procession from Westminster Abbey to Wellington Arch, where the coffin was transferred to the state hearse, taking it for final burial in King George VI Memorial Chapel at Windsor Castle.
The Queen was the Honorable Chief Commissioner of the RCMP, and her love of the Musical Ride horses is well documented and current and former RCMP members like myself, as well as all Canadians, should be pleased with this decision she made.
Queen Elizabeth ll was also Head of the Church of England, and her scripture choices and funeral services at both Westminster Abbey and Windsor Castle were an acknowledgement of her faith in Jesus Christ as she was an unapologetic believer and follower.
Interestingly, the Queen and Billy Graham, the well-known Evangelist, developed a personal relationship that started in 1955 when Prince Philip and the Queen observed Billy on television and subsequently invited him to Buckingham Palace for a visit. At the time, Billy was in the U.K. for three weeks holding crusades and during that time they visited each other on three separate occasions. Over the years they met at least 12 different occasions and the Queen invited Billy to share the Gospel at both Windsor Castle and Sandringham House.
Every Christmas Day, the Queen gave her Christmas message that was televised around the world and her messages were as good a sermon as you would want to hear. For example, in 2014 a part of her Christmas Day message was the following:
"For me, the life of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, whose birth we celebrate today, is an inspiration and an anchor in my life. A role model of reconciliation and forgiveness, He stretched out His hands in love, acceptance, and healing. Christ's example has taught me to seek to respect and value all people, of whatever faith or none."
Truly this amazing woman of God who served Him and the world received these words that we read in Mathew 25:23 as she met her Savior: "Well done thy good and faithful servant."

Borderland of Adventure #46: Delving Too... ➡
4 Overlooked Classic TSR Modules You Should Run
As gamers we have a great shared history of classic adventures. Everyone's heard of the Temple of Elemental Evil and the Keep on the Borderlands. (In fact, it is thought Keep on the Borderlands may be the most played adventure of all time). However, TSR released hundreds of adventures for D&D and AD&D. Some are justly famed, but others never garnered the recognition they deserved.
By William McAusland (Outland Arts)
Here are four such overlooked gems. If you don't have a copy, it's worth tracking down a copy or PDF.
B5: Horror on the Hill
For my money, this is the best early Basic adventure. While I love B2 Keep on the Borderlands, this adventure has a range or better designed, more cohesive challenges and situations. It features extensive overland travel, a ruined monastery and three dungeons levels. Each of these five areas has their own set of unique challenges and creatures. Goblins inhabit the upper dungeon level, the next level – in which the party might get dumped by the goblins if they are not careful – is full of scavengers while kobolds and a dragon lurk in the lowest level. Because it is very likely the party will get trapped in the lower two levels, the adventure changes (well, it did in my campaign) suddenly from "kill the goblins, loot their stuff" to "we are trapped; how do we get out?"
N4: Treasure Hunt
This AD&D module is for characters levels 0-1 and starts with the party in chains on a pirate slaver ship. The ship sinks during a ferocious storm and the party are washed ashore on a remote island. From there, they must escape the last of their captors, defeat the various warring factions on the island and escape before a vengeful goddess destroys the island. Included with the module are rules for both 0-level characters and converting those characters into "proper" 1st-level adventurers.
UK4: When A Star Falls
One of my all-time favourite modules, When a Star Falls is for characters levels 3-5. I've run this AD&D module several times over the last 30 years, and even included it in my expanded Temple of Elemental Evil campaign. The adventure focuses on the power struggles of the sages living in the Tower of the Heavens. A shooting star – an omen of power – sets events in motion that culminate in a power struggle, with the unwitting PCs proving pivotal to the outcome. As well as lots of opportunities for combat, the adventure features extensive roleplaying encounters and wilderness travel. When a Star Falls also includes one of my favourite new monsters – the memory web. When the PCs slay the creature it bombards them with the memories of others it has slain, which propels them into the adventure. This is one of the best, most memorable adventure hooks I've ever come across.
X12: Skarda's Mirror
I've never run this Expert module (for characters level 5-8) , but I plan to in the not too distant future. I love the set-up — a retired adventurer has a magic item that is not what it seems, and the magic items holds a terrible secret. The item — a mirror — is actually an artefact that allows access to a demiplane. The demiplane is now the home of a mad wizard and his small army. Trapped inside, he is intent on escaping and using his forces to wrest control of the PCs' home kingdom from its rightful king. The start of the adventure sees the party drawn into the mirror and into conflict with the mad wizard. Of course, disaster is in the offing – the demiplane is old and the magics maintaining are beginning to breakdown — and the mad wizard escapes back into the world with his servants. The adventure climaxes with the party escaping the demiplane and fighting in the royal palace to protect the king from an ignoble death!

Stuart Kerrigan says:
B10 Night's Dark Terror – a real classic. Or is it not overlooked?
It's been overlooked by me! I've got it, but haven't read it. Looks like I'll have to change that if you are saying its worth a go!
Definitely worth it and is probably a mini-campaign in its own right. It was made by TSR UK, was designed to bridge the Basic and Expert sets and has lots of lovely hand-drawn maps (some of which amusingly appear in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay products written by the same authors).
I'd love my own copy. It basically formed the template for Gaz1 Duchy of Karameikos.
Forrest Elam says:
I agree B10 was amazing. Well organized and with several mini-encounters mixed in. I especially liked the full-scale steading map for the siege encounter!
Brant Guillory says:
B10 – absolutely, 100% every day of the week
http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/classic/rev_5488.phtml
Master of the Desert Nomads and it's sequel were always pretty awesome to me. I always wished they would be revisited or revised.
I came here to say "KNIGHT'S DARK TERROR"!!! I'm glad someone else said it too!
Carl Green says:
First choice for me would be N1 Against the Cult of the Reptile God…
It's an absolute classic in my opinion… great set-up as the PCs enter a village where the residents are a bit 'off'… and then builds with slow reveals to a great climax.
I have run this several times and it's always been a blast. Although it's default setting is the Gran March in Greyhawk, it really could fit anywhere in any setting.
Second choice for me would be The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh…
And I agree on Night's Dark Terror, as my third choice.
Good selection. All 3 are gems.
Greg Volz says:
N1, that's another that I've ran in multiple systems and it had stood the test of time.
John Garlick says:
I have all but the last one…..and given that they are all gems I shall be tracking that down in hard copy too.
Lord Savage says:
U1 'Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh'
http://www.dndclassics.com/product/17069/U1-The-Sinister-Secret-of-Saltmarsh-1e?it=1
Richard Green says:
I didn't play many basic D&D adventures – just B1 & B2 – I need to check out B5. My recommendation would be for the excellent UK2 & UK3, The Sentinel and The Gauntlet.
UK2 & 3 are tremendous modules. I've run them several times and had a blast both times. I even got to play them once as an actual player!
I have to agree with this recommendation. Both the Sentinel and the Gauntlet are great modules. I really liked the idea of the good artifacts mission to defeat its nemesis. I actually found that all of the UK modules had that extra level of depth, character and substance than some of their US TSR peers.
Other modules I have fun running include Drums on Fire Mountain (which is the South Pacific themed island adventure), the War Rafts of Kron (my first underwater adventure) and the Veiled society.
Francois B. says:
I second B10, which will be the next module i run for my campaign, once B12 is done 🙂
Jef Cliber says:
The U Series as a whole is often overlooked, but I was pleased to see several comments mentioning U1 "The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh"! That adventure is by far my favorite. The setup is excellent and a great challenge. Players must investigate the haunted house. Sounds simple enough, but with the help of a great DM this adventure goes from creepy to awesome within one room/combat. Those who know the adventure probably know the one I am talking about. The whole series is like a mini-campaign unto itself, but sadly U2 was not very good. The finale in U3 is epic – and you'll never want to adventure underwater ever again (as either DM or player).
I've been lucky enough to play in, but not, GM that series. It is excellent. The only thing that could have made it better would be a write-up of Saltmarsh. (I think this turned up in the 3.5 DMG II some years ago, though.)
Rob Gruber says:
Often overlooked is the amazing 1983 TSR publication (might be that it can be difficult to find) L2 The Assassin's Knot. Geared towards 6-10 players, levels 2 to 5 it is the sequel to The Secret of Bone Hill and always one of my favorites as a DM.
The interesting thing with L2 is that it contains no Dungeon! Heroes are tasked with solving a murder mystery in the Village of Garrotten, the longer they take, the more tragedy strikes the small Village.
This is a gem of a module and a personal favorite. I have used it a few times through the past 25 years and my players always enjoy it.
steve hood says:
6-10 players. Thhats awesome. The dynamics in that size party would be great. So 1990s.
When was the last time you played with 10 players? Hell, where would you put them? In the Good Old Days, I used a table tennis table to play on and we just about had space for 10 players. Now, sadly, our brave band of 7 completely fill the gaming room. I don't think we could stuff anyone else in.
Brian Mooney says:
I dont see much written about them but I truly enjoyed the Ravenloft series. Masterfully written, and in the right hands can be an extremely engrossing campaign!
XL-1 Quest for the Heartstone.
One of my favorites cause it contained the stats for Warduke. Plus fighting Frost Giants is always fun.
The bad thing about this thread is that I'm finding out about so many modules I don't own. Heartstone is another one to add to the list!
I'm hoping he was trolling… As Quest for the Heartstone was a very poor effort written to try to help sell a range of plastic toys. The whole thing was very uninspiring.
You've already had the recommendations from others of my own favourites. UK3, U1, N1 – the low level AD&D stuff from the early 80s was often inspired!
Castle Amber?!? Man that's a classic
Bingo Proudfoot says:
You can make an entire campaign out of this one module.
I've got this, but never read it. Looks like I'll have to take a look. Castle Amber and Nights Dark Terrors have come up time and again as great modules to take a look at. Thanks for the recommendation.
William C. Pfaff says:
Castle Amber is my all-time fave module. I've read it at least 20 times and run it probably 6 to 8.
Zeu says:
Castle Amber is one of the best ever, right up there with Keep on the Borderlands and Elemental Evil. It's also the first module I remember playing. Takes me back to a happy time, so it's that much more special for me.
Fighter's Challenge 1 : supposed to be a solo adventure, but a great small group adventure : a lot of RP opportunities
velveeta says:
you forgot the 'queen of the demon web pits'
Ok….a couple of thoughts….B4 is a favourite….The Lost City. It had atmosphere and scope aplenty for a complete campaign if the PCs actually get to the underground city… UK6 (?) All that Glitters….i would also recommend for something with an exotic location and some neat twists. X2 Castle Amber is another favourite from days past. I ran it several times and always felt the back story of the degenerate family in a cursed mansion stood out as a concept at the time….which translated well in play.
d47 says:
B4 was one of my favorites, but it is a pale imitation of The Caverns of Thracia.
Shawn Nicklin says:
I agree with all of them and would add B3 palace of the silver princess. Cool story line. B4 and B5 are the best in the series.

Reed B says:
For those gamer's who haven't been around since the 80's (can't include myself there) what would you consider to be on the "classics" list? Did I miss that list somewhere?
Obvious choices are the Slavers series (A1-4), Giants/Drow (GDQ), B2, X1, S1-S4 & T1-4. I would throw in the Desert of Desolation series (I2-4) and a few of the WG series and Dragonlance modules.
Edit: I3-5
Great question! I'll have to ponder that as, as you say, so many choices are so obvious. I think you'd definitely have to put Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh in the classic list. In particular, the first module was absolutely brilliant.
Nelson Saunders says:
I don't remember the number of the module, but The Lost Caverns of Socanth (sp?) immediately comes to mind. That adventure was, for all intents and purposes, my initiation into D&D. Talk about baptism by fire… That module was freakin' tough!
ISU Burd says:
S4 – The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth. Pretty good guess on the spelling, and yes it is a beast.
Creighton,
Those modules are all ones that I have overlooked. Now that I am firmly in the middle class, I have been slowly acquiring all the modules that escaped me in my youth. Perhaps these will now be on the list.
One that you might have overlooked, but I would consider a more recent classic, is the Madness at Gardmore Abbey…converted to 1st/2nd edition AD&D. Our group has been playing it in our last 4 sessions of our bi-yearly game (friends come up from Florida to Minnesota for Christmas and summer vacations. I joined the game in 1998.) If the module was done in an earlier era, it would NOT be on the list as it would be one that everyone would have played.
On a personal note; it is also one of 2 roleplaying experiences that got my wife into rpgs. It's a hobby we now share, and she is even branching out on her own to try PF Society games and paint minis. Should you ever come across the fellow who worked on that adventure, give him a firm handshake, a knowing nod, my thanks, and tell him, "Well done."
Minnesota, USA
PS For an 80s classic… I1 Dwellers of the Forbidden City. Journey through a jungle to find a mysterious lost city. Exploration in an exotic location -a must for those that enjoyed a Tarzan yarn in their youth.

Thank goodness you restricted it to TSR modules, can you imagine how many you would have gotten otherwise? Even so someone mentioned The Caverns of Thracia (which was great), so I guess it is okay to bring up other judges guild stuff like Tegel Manor and Dark Tower.

Joe Haight says:
From the Shadows (RQ3) was one of my all time favorites. The look on the players faces when the start figuring stuff out is priceless.
There are two adventures that have always been my favorites, and many people have already mentioned B10, Night's Dark Terror. The other one is C3 The Lost Island of Castanamir, which details one of the most fun locations to explore I've ever read. The PCs, intending to approach the island, are instead shipwrecked on it, and must venture into Castanamir the Mad's home for shelter. The spatial warping in the home is wonderful – I was reminded of it with the PAX East 2015 game of Acquisitions Incorporated, with all the moving rooms. That's not exactly what's happening with Castanamir, but it was reminiscent for me.
Ham says:
If al-Qadim adventures count…………just about any of them, but especially Wolfgang Baur's Assassin Mountain.
Mark Poles says:
We were talking about this the other day! My similar list of 20 includes both When a Star Falls and Treasure Hunt (my number 1): http://www.shopontheborderlands.co.uk/2014/08/10-dd-adventures-play-die/
For #3 Mark you get bonus points! Excellent adventure that I never ran, but read many times. Super stuff!
UK4 – I've ran it in just about every system (1e, 2e, 3.x, C&C, and soon in 5e). Graeme Morris really knew how to write a good hook but not railroad.
I agree that another of his adventures B10 Night's Dark Terror is a perfect example of a module that allows the DM to make it their own.
Dom Zook says:
I've been working on a homebrewed version of Horror on the Hill on one of my streams. I LOVE this adventure. There's something for everyone, and a brilliant way of getting a party together and testing them out.
Anthony (TemplateFu) Adam says:
EX1 followed by EX2 – use these for when you want to have some light relief.
WonderGoon says:
X4 Master of the Desert Nomads and it's sequel X5 The Temple of Death, both by David Cook, with art by the immortal Timothy Truman in X5 are two of the best Expert level adventures ever published by TSR, in my opinion.
Also often overlooked is I2 Tomb of the Lizard King, which is another favorite of mine along with I8 Ravager of Time.
Pingback: The Two Reasons I Love Resource Management | Creighton Broadhurst
I used X12: Skarda's Mirror as part of a campaign during my high school years in the early nineties at the end of the adventure the mirror took the characters to Ravenloft
Good idea! I never thought of linking the two modules like that!
j rodman says:
Skarda's Mirror begs you to give the players access to somwhere weird. Is it another continent they haven't heard of, another world, or another plane? The last is the traditional choice in D&D history. Heck it could be another time (though this is usually a can of worms in D&D adventure coherency).
Given the module's content, it could easily be a screwjob where you strand the players somewhere, but I think it's more satisfying when you give players access to stuff and let them find their own trouble.
Jack Rischel says:
One of my favorites (alongside TOEE) is "The Vale of the Mage". The 'enemy' party the players must deal with are a group of spellcasters with the exception of one who is actually a fighter pretending to be a mage (my favourite to DM.
ADnD Steve says:
Hi Creighton,
Great stuff as usual – brings back old memories and inspires new endeavours. If I can ask, how have you included When a Star Falls in your expanded Temple of Elemental Evil campaign? My players are nearly finished in the Moathouse Ruins, and I was thinking about giving them a small diversion before they start the actual ToEE, When a Star Falls sounds perfect.
During the exploration of the temple's upper levels the party found the poem/prophecy detailed on page 44 of the megamodules. They wanted to know more about it and I told them they'd heard about a certain Tower of the Heavens wherein dwelled many knowledgable sages. Off they trooped.
Pingback: Horror on the Hill is a Criminally Underrated Module | Creighton Broadhurst
What's good about Treasure Hunt? The idea is interesting, and the execution is super boring. Lots of telling the DM and players basically exactly what to do, along with a very poorly considered class-and-alignment railroading system. Linear and dull, and uncreative. PASS!
Level 0 is a great idea. I love DCC funnels. It's easy to make a level 0 adventure exciting because it's so easy for people to die. You just need some challenges and flavor and it's going to be fine. Treasure Hunt fails on both respects.

E3 2018: Little Orbit Shows Rebooted Descent – Barf Bags Not Included
Little Orbit shows off their gravity-defying remake of the original gravity-defying corridor simulator.
Written by: Nia Bothwell | June 20, 2018
The original Descent, released way back in 1995, was a gravity-defying first-person experience where you not only piloted a ship in 3D space but did your best to avoid getting nauseous from the constant perspective shifts. The mechanics introduced were impressive for the time as you were able to turn upside down and navigate from side to side – which was a huge departure from the straightforward demon-smashing of games like DOOM. I never played the original, but I did see gameplay footage of it and it seemed like fun.
And that's a good thing as Little Orbit was more than happy to show off a full remake of Descent for the modern gamer. On top of simply flying around and fighting robots, in this update you'll need to mine for resources while under the radar of major corporations who seemingly control everything in sight. Did I mention this all happens in zero-gravity where you'll need to spin, twist, and constantly reorient yourself just to stay alive? Better stock up on the Dramamine.
Originally called Descent: Underground, the game's roots seem just as exciting as the gameplay itself. A successful Kickstarter campaign back in 2015 led to a (very) Early Access release later that year before the game went to BrightLocker in 2016. After running out of funds and ending up in what's being called "crowdfunding hell", publisher Little Orbit swooped in to help the team fund and complete the game, now simply called Descent.
One of the cool aspects of the new Descent is it has a co-op mode where you can invite friends into your game, not unlike Ubisoft's Far Cry 5, letting you play through the main campaign with up to four players. There's a vast selection of ships to choose from as well, each with its own abilities, broadly fitting into RPG classes ranging from tanks to healers. Over time, ships can be upgraded and will change in appearance based off of the player's choices.
All in all, Descent is looking to be not just a faithful remake of a genuine classic, but one that should fit in nicely with the recent glut of other faithful remakes that have reminded us that a good idea never goes out of style. The full game is slated for release on PC and available consoles later this year – stay tuned for a full review when it does.
